Are you looking for a fun and engaging outdoor activity for your little ones? Look no further! With this easy-to-make magnetic fishing toy, you can provide hours of entertainment for your children while enjoying some quality family time.
Follow these simple steps, adapted from DIY magnetic fishing pole game tutorials, to create your very own no-sew craft foam magnetic fishing toy:
**Materials Needed:** - Coloured craft foam sheets for fish shapes - Lightweight flat magnets - A 1/2 inch dowel or stick (approximately 2-3 feet long) for the fishing pole - String or strong thread - Strong craft glue or hot glue gun - Scissors - Marker or Sharpie for decorating fish - Optional: Flat washers for added weight to the fish
**Instructions:**
1. **Cut Out Fish Shapes:** - Using the craft foam sheets, cut out various size and coloured fish shapes. - Draw eyes, scales, or other details on the fish using a marker.
2. **Attach Magnets to Fish:** - Glue a small flat magnet onto each fish, allowing it to dry completely before use. - If needed, glue a flat washer under the magnet for added weight to keep the fish submerged in water.
3. **Make the Fishing Pole:** - Tie one end of the string securely to the dowel or stick. - Attach a magnet to the free end of the string using glue or by tying it inside a small bag made from foam or felt (for a fishing "hook" effect). - Allow the glue to dry completely before playing.
4. **Play:** - Scatter the fish in a large kiddie pool, bathtub, or any outdoor water container. - Use the fishing pole to "catch" fish by attracting the magnets.
**Tips:** - Since craft foam and magnets can be glued, no sewing is required. - Using craft foam makes the fish lightweight and weather-resistant, perfect for outdoor play. - This game is quick to assemble and ideal for keeping kids engaged outdoors.
